I’m yer responsible dog owner and I even have biodegradable blue poo bags. I have even been known to come back next day to remove Jasper’s free-form sculptures from peoples grass verges. But there is the issue of disposal. Do I take 1-2 bags full all the way home? Or do I drop them off on the way? Do I use a council rubbish bin, or do I take advantage of the residential wheelie trash bin left out on the footpath?
I do have a set of rules re that latter – if the bin is full and due for pickup next day or so then I don’t feel bad. But if the bin has just been emptied – I haven’t got the heart to leave a bag of fresh Labrador doo-doo in there to greet the owner. Plus it makes a loud ‘donk’ when you drop it in, in case they're watching. On the other hand, if they too bloody lazy to bring the bin in way after rubbish day then I figure they deserve a deposit.
I recall one occasion when I couldn’t find any bin on the way home, but then spotted a church fair. Always on the lookout for a bargain, I tied the dog up and rolled the full bag in my sweater as I wandered in to investigate. The I noticed that the queues gently parted as I walked in; people moved away from formerly busy trading tables. Nothing like the funky whiff of canine caca to help clear the way.
